Houshmandzadeh was asked if the Eagles might think about dealing for Chad Ochocinco.

"If they were smart, that’s what they would do," he said. "Chad has a lot to prove. He called me today. He’s crying, wondering why everybody is getting traded, why he can’t go. He wants out. He’s just wondering why everybody can get out but him."

At first, I thought we'd have a dry spell in terms of trade rumors, given that the Eagles dealt one of their first-rounders for Jason Peters over the weekend.
